OBITUARY.
nov. II to.

Died in this county on Tuesday the 18th
ulL, Miss Mariah L. Strond. Her bereav-
ed relatives are left with the comforting
hope that The beloved one has gone to a
world where parting is unknown, and
where God shall wipe each tear stained
brow. The death of one so good. so useful
and no widely known, is an event too event.
fol 10 be dismissed with the brief notice of
her decease. Many live and pass away,
leaving no lasting impression. Others live
and in their lives impress upon times inc f.
faceable marks Of deeds and character for
the emulation and gratitude Of survivors
What an encouraging thought 10 the atfiict-
ed, that "whom the Lord loved he chasten-
eth" and that 'fhese light affections,
which are but for moment, shall work out
for Us fur more exceeding and an eternal
weight Of glorY."
One sweet flower has drooped and failed,
One swset warbler hence has fed;
One fair brow the grave has shaded,
One dear friend now is dead.
She has gone 10 heaven before us;
But she turns aud waves her hand,
Pointing TO the glories DER US, ''-g. '..
In that happy spirit land.
May our footsteps never faIter
In the path she has trod;
Let US worship at the alter
Where she give her heart 10 God.
Lord! may angels watch above US,
Keep us all from error freea
May they guard. and guile, AMI love Us.
Till, like her. we goto thee. H.F.

Mr.. Lee, in a lecture at Brooklyn the
ether day on the Tower Of London, stated
that it is fact that grass could never
be induced to grow upon the spot where
the hapless Lady Jane Grey yielded mp
her innocent life. Another interesting
episode was the narrative of the discov-
cry few years ago Of a lower range Of
dungeons below those which were al
ready known to exist. One Of these, a
lower oubliete, was found knee deep
in water. the passage to it swarming
with rats. and in the dungeon the skel-
eton of a woman, with iron chains still
about the bones Not the slightest clew
to her ideniT could be found. and even
the very existence Of the dungeon had
been forgotten.-Phitadelpaia Call. D
